A rare opportunity to own this stunning 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom (with potential for a 2nd bath—see alternate floor plan) prewar cooperative at the coveted Morgan Studios. This exquisite residence seamlessly blends timeless sophistication with modern comforts, offering double-height ceilings and unmistakable Old World grandeur.
The welcoming foyer leads to a magnificent living room that is truly a showstopper. Dramatic 13-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves custom-designed and built by a boatbuilder/cabinetmaker from Islesboro, Maine, complete with a Hudson rolling ladder, and a handsome wood-burning fireplace, set the stage for elegant entertaining and quiet enjoyment. New windows installed throughout ensure abundant natural light, energy efficiency, and quiet.
The primary bedroom enjoys dual exposures and ample storage, including a spacious walk-in closet. The second bedroom, currently used as a den, has the opportunity to create a second bathroom with board approval. Currently, both bedrooms share access to the large windowed bathroom designed with marble tiles, radiant heated floors, and a glass-enclosed step-in shower for a luxurious hotel-like experience. The windowed kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
Built in 1928, The Morgan Studios is a distinguished full-service cooperative on a charming tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, a newly renovated lobby, a state-of-the-art gym, a common laundry room, and private storage.
